Perioperative safety and alignment outcomes in minimally invasive versus open transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion: A retrospective cohort study
Patients undergoing single-level MI TLIF exhibited shorter LOS, reduced EBL, recoveries, and reduced ASD risk, while those undergoing open TLIF exhibited better postoperative global/sagittal alignment correction. Notably, both groups exhibited comparable functional outcomes.
